o Invention.

James M. Whitney Of This city. has
received letters patent on a rotary steam
engine, that will, if proven to be what
it is claimed, reyolutionize steam en-
gines.
1t is certainly the most simple device
for an engine We have eve seen. 1t is
a wheel within a wheel, no dead center,
crank, main connection, rocker shaft,
valves or steam gauges. 1t has u cast
iron cylinder bored out with storm fit
tings, heads, placed horizontally, with a
turned wrought iron shaft running
through the center Of it and projecting
at each end. The portion Of the shaft
within the cylinder is much larger than
the portions projecting and constructed
in a peculiar manner
The steam is taken at each end Of the
cylinder alternately which forces the
shaft to revolve something after the
manner Of a turbine wheel. The model
made by Mr.. Whitney will revolve 1920
to the minute, and is the only one ye,
built to illustrate the principle.
The cost Of construction will certainly
be less than a fourth the amount requir
ed 10 build one Of the ordinary kind O
the same power. 1t can be started, run
in ore direction, stopped and run in the
opposite. 1t is claimed it can be readily
and easily applied to locomotives or any
other use requiring steam engines.
Tho patent was issued Feb. 18th. 0
this year, and before the patent reached
him, Mr.. Whitney received letters from
parties in Philadelphia and New York
asking for interests in the patent If b,
desired to sell any.
The principle that has been sought b,
the inventive genius of the world fol
years, seems to have been discovered a
last by jim Whitney, of Deadwood-
Deadwood Times.

Strange things happen in Dakota.
Among the mauy stories that have been
told of the way people of this territory
have Of doing things is the one about
moving houses from one claim to anoth-
er, for obvious purposes. This was re-
allied late last week in Custer county.
On Spring creek lives a man named
Anderson, who occasionlly hauls wood
to Rapid City as a mean Of revenue.
He had located his shack on a piece Of
unsurveyed land, or land not in the
market. 1t is claimed by some in his
vicinity that the land belongs to the
school district. At any rate, while An
derson was absent with a load Of wood
last week, a t%en-yoke OK team was hitch
ed TO the house, and it was hauled about
two miles from its former location.
When Anderson returned at night his
house was not to be found, and he wan
dered around half the night, trying to
find it. On yesterday he had two men
arrested for conspiracy, and their cases
will be called to-day ut Hermosa. Ed.
Smith, of c. L. Woods Office, appears for
the complainant, and w. J.. Walker will
conduct the defense. These gentleman

For the Friends of the Canals-Gey.
er's Bill Knocked Out.

For the Friends of the Canals-Gey-
er's Bill Knocked Out.
COLUMBUS, Feb. 11.-Quite to the
surprise of many anti-canal men in the
House yesterday, Geyer's bill for aban-
doning the Wabash Canal and Pauld-
ing Reservoir was defeated by vote of
46 yeas and 43 nays. There had been
considerable confidence on the Geyer
side of the question, the more because
the fight in favor of engrossing the bill
was won by vote of y to 25. How
ever, it was not test vote as, or the
final passage of the bill, many members
who had voted for the engrossment as q
matter of courtesy, voted against the
measure as matter of public policy.
The great fear, even among the advo-
Gates of the bill, was that the State
could not give title to the land, which
might revert to the General Govern
ment. Mr.. Poorman offered an amend
ment providing that the Trustees of
the Sinking Fund should make certain
the ownership of the State in the lands,
by having an act of Congress by which
the lands included in the bill should be
ceded to the State. However, even
with this amendment, which caused
considerable discussion, the bill was de-
feated. 1t is notably the result of Mr..
Ryan's speech of yesterday, and his
discovery of the Federal Governments
original cesslon of the property which
prevented the passage of the bill. 1t
needed but ten votes more, which could
have been secured had there been no
doubt rs to the title. Mr.. Geyer was
successful in having reconsideration by
vote of so to 81, and his bill was post
poned till next Wednesday, and made
the special order for 8 O'clock.
